America Is Politically Broke Because It’s Morally Broke

The
National Institute of Health (NIH) branch of the U.S. federal government
recently awarded a $432,000 grant to Columbia University… to
study homosexual hookup apps.

I’m
not saying anything for or against homosexuality in this blog post. Honestly, I’d
be just as disgusted if the NIH spent $432,000 studying heterosexual hookup
apps. It’s a ridiculous waste of money regardless of who’s hooking up (i.e.
having unsafe sex) with whom.

It’s
true that a few hundred thousand bucks for a dumb little side project means
very little when we’re talking about a few trillion in annual expenditures.
I’ll grant you that much.

Yet
that’s all I’m granting you considering how that “few hundred thousand bucks for
a dumb little side project” has to be added on top of a few hundred thousand
bucks for a few thousand other dumb little side projects. Which adds up. Big
time.

Moreover,
our politicians have no business spending even a penny of taxpayer money on
studying our sexual habits. It’s none of their business to begin with! The
little pervs need to get out of our bedrooms already.

And
before you start thinking my claim that the U.S. is morally broke is because
our government creeps on our sex lives, let me also take serious objection to the
IRS’s $4.5 million IT contract with the incompetent CGI Federal: the
company that botched up Healthcare.gov, the Obamacare website that crashed over
and over and over again, and allowed hackers to access applicants’ entire
identities.

Why
is the federal government hiring them again?

Probably
because it thinks it’s supreme. Like God, it can control everything. It’s a
giant ego-case that expects us to bow down and worship it for how well it takes
care of us poor, ignorant sods.

“Thank
you, federal government. Thank you!!!!” We’re supposed to cry, clutching at its
feet and weeping in sheer joy at its benevolence.

That’s why it’s morally broke: Because it’s
immoral to adopt that much power to begin with, not to mention plain stupid… as
evidenced by our counterproductive amounts of national debt.
